anyone else going? ( weather permitting )
i didn't get a very good time last visit and i want my "drag monster" badge.
also i won't be having the car for much longer so it would be nice to see what she can do before i sell her.

What is the event Jim? I would imagine you'll do well to acheive much of a time in this weather, but the best of luck in any event. What is your PB in the Rover?

its a standard RWYB event. like the one we went to in october.
i had massive clutch slip coz i upped the boost too much for the new clutch.
i got a 16.3 @ 75.63 mph. lol
gonna keep the boost down especially as the colder weather should increase some boost too.

i'm gonna get some pennies together once settled in my new job.
then buy a cheap family car.
then sell or break the rover and use the funds plus a bit more for a track slag.

Tricks ???
Lorries dont pass down the Pod, so getting hit up the ahse by a truck is out, although the track dryer might help (have you tried racing it ???
)
You could ask someone with a standard CTR to give you a tow,
Or maybe take a leaf out of me and Stuarts book and eat less pies
Keep us posted though fella !!
